We are delighted to share the exciting news that Cuban native Dario Martin, a Joaquín Achúcarro legacy pianist, was recently awarded First Place at The International José Jacinto Cuevas Piano Competition, hosted by Yamaha and held in Merida, Mexico on November 28, 2014. The prize for this competition, which was televised in Mexico, includes a CD recording in addition to several concert agreements in Mexico and Argentina. We commend Dario’s commitment to his pursuits that garnered success at this noteworthy event, and hope that this first prize will benefit the young pianist’s career immeasurably.
